So...who's running their 1959 type amp without an attenuator or master volume mod? How are you doing it? Where do you play? What kind of tones are you going for?
I'm asking because I used a 1959SLP exclusively for several years but always used an attenuator at gigs and rehearsals. But, I...
Hi all,
My wife and I are planning an extended weekend to Nashville, and I am wondering if any of you have some recommendations for us. We both love rock and americana music of all varieties and genres: Son Volt, Wilco, Alison Krauss, Lucinda Williams, Charlie Sexton, lyle Lovett, Steve Earl...

For those of you that see an end to your gear purchasing, what would it be? I am well aware of those who feel that it's all about the search, but others, I being one, might feel that there is an end to the tone quest. Here's my "I'm through" rig, what's yours? Also, feel free to mention the...

What are your favorites?
Hi all,
Just played a Victoria Double Deluxe and I must admit that I am totally blown away. It's been a long time since I played a tweed type amp, and I forgot how much I like, and miss, them. Does anyone have any gig experience with these amps? How do the work in a full band setting? I am...
I noticed on my 56 historic that the back P-90 doesn't lower very far into the guitar. In other words, the pickup is fairly close to the strings and when I tried to lower it it wouldn't drop down much as the Pick up route is shallow. Are your 56 Historic like this as well?
Thanks
